Some comments about you patch. The approach seems nice, you only check the parameters that affect plugin loading. But have in mind that the plugin themselves will configure themselves with many other parameters, so to keep things safe there should be a PluginRepository for each set of parameters (including all of them). Besides, remember that CACHE is a WeakHashMap, you are creating ad-hoc PluginProperty objects as keys, something doesn't loook right... the lifespan of those objects will be much shorter than you require, perhaps you should be using SoftReferences instead, or a simple LRU (LinkedHashMap provides that simply) cache. Anyway, I'll try to build my own Nutch to test your patch.
